Lalu was admitted to Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences in Ranchi on March 17, and was later shifted to AIIMS on March 28. He is suffering from diabetes, blood pressure, and a kidney ailment. The RJD chief had also undergone two heart surgeries in the past, reports The Times of India.

Lalu had also appealed to the court to seek parole to attend his eldest son Tej Pratap's marriage scheduled May 12.

"If we do not get bail for him, we will pray for parole so that he can attend the marriage of his elder son. We will try to keep the function as simple and modest as possible as we are pained at our leader being in jail," a Rashtriya Janata Dal party leader was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.

Tej Pratap is tying the knot with Rashtriya Janata Party lawmaker Chandrika Rai's daughter Aishwarya Rai. Lalu Prasad Yadav had missed the engagement ceremony as he is serving time in jail on charges of corruption.

According to the TOI report, Congress president Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee are likely to attend the wedding.
